HQ Video (High Quality Video)

This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it should not be necessay to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture shown on the TV will have strange colouring.

Component

The video output on both the Component video (3 phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.

RGB SCART

The video output on both the Component video (3 phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are using RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need to use COMPOSITE as a sync signal.

NTSC black (Pedestal)

This setting controls the ‘pedestal’ signal or black level when the NTSC video standard is used. Note that it does not affect PAL video in any way.

0 IRE This removes the pedestal from NTSC video. This setting should be used in Japan, and also if you are using RGB video, whatever the country.

7.5IRE This is the standard pedestal level that should be used in all countries that use NTSC video, with the exception of Japan.

This section allows you to configure the type of analogue and digital audio outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

Audio

This section allows you to configure the type of analogue and digital audio outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

Two different types of digital output are supported: “Bitstream” and “Stereo PCM”.

Bitstream

The Bitstream setting supports the following

 

audio standards:

 

2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)

 

Dolby Digital

 

MPEG multi channel

 

DTS multi channel

 

Use the Bitstream setting if you have an

 

external decoder that supports Dolby Digital.

 

 

Stereo

When the “Stereo PCM” digital output is

PCM

selected, all audio material played is down-

 

mixed to stereo and output as stereo PCM.

 

Use this setting if you have an external D-A

 

converter that supports only 2-channel PCM.

 

 

 

Since the digital and analogue outputs are closely related, the

DV89

analogue audio output reflects the digital output type selected.

 

The options available are as follows:

Bitstream

The digital output is “Bitstream” (as described

+ 6 Ch.

above). The analogue audio will comprise up

 

to six channels of output, depending on the

 

source material, the speaker configuration

 

(see the “Speaker Setup” section) and the “Pro

 

Logic” setting (see below).

 

 

Bitstream

The digital output is “Bitstream” (as described

+ 2 Ch.

above). The analogue audio will comprise

 

a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the source

 

material.

 

 

PCM

The digital output is “Stereo PCM” (as

+ 2 Ch.

described above). The analogue audio will

 

comprise a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the

 

source material.

 

 

Pro Logic

This controls “Pro Logic” decoding. Pro Logic decoding creates a four-channel surround output from sources that are encoded in Dolby Surround format. It is relevant only when two-channel source material is being played.

Off No Pro Logic processing is performed.

On Pro Logic processing is performed on all appropriate two-channel material.

Auto Pro Logic processing is performed when the audio track on the DVD is indicated as being Dolby Surround encoded.

Note the following points:

If two-channel output is selected via the “Audio” item, no Pro Logic decoding will ever be performed.

If the player is configured to have only two speakers connected to it (described in the next section), then no Pro Logic decoding will be performed.

MP3 files, together with DVD-audio discs and any 96kHz (or above) material, are not suitable for Pro Logic decoding and will never be processed.

Audio delay

This item is not applicable for the DV89, and should not be changed.

Down-sample

This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

Max 96K Choose this option if your external audio decoder is able to process digital audio with a sample rate of up to 96kHz, or if you are not using the digital audio outputs. This is the maximum sample rate present on DVD-video discs.

Max 48K Choose this option if your external audio decoder is unable to process digital audio with a sample rate of up to 96kHz.

NOTE: This setting is relevant only to the output from DVD-video discs.
